The Frans Hals Museum is the art museum of the city of Haarlem. At two beautiful, historic locations in the center of Haarlem, we show the largest collection of works by Frans Hals, in addition to old, modern and contemporary art. The Frans Hals Museum is therefore a museum with an international reputation, a rural appearance and a local anchorage.
We believe that artists look at the world in a special way. That is why we stimulate looking from different sides and offer a meeting place for various perspectives. We do this with exhibitions, programs and activities. We not only work for this, but also with target groups to make the museum more relevant for more people. In this way we contribute to an open and inspiring society.
